Mobile Computing (11) Final Project

Final Project Requirements

For this assignment you will create an app of your own design. You will have two weeks to complete it. Your score on this project, is worth 50% of your course grade.

You are free to design whatever type of app you want. In terms of the sophistication or complexity of the app, it must be a non-trivial app. For example, it cannot simply be a minor tweak to one of the app’s we’ve done in the course, although a significant extension of one of our apps would be okay.

Minimum Technical Requirements

The app must meet certain minimum technical requirements.

Data Abstraction. The app must include at least two variablesand must make use of either a listor a database.

Procedural Abstraction. The app must include at least two programmer-defined procedures or functions.

Algorithms and Control.The must include at least one if/else structure or one loop.

Evaluation Rubric

The following criteria will be used to evaluate your project. Each criterion will be worth 5 points, ranging from 0 (unable to assess) to 5 (good), for a total of 20 points.

Purpose: The app’s purpose is clearly described and the app itself clearly achieves its purpose.

Technical Requirements: The app meets or exceeds the minimum technical requirements as described above.

Functional Performance. The app was downloaded and tested and it worked as expected without major performance issues or bugs.

Scope: The app represents a significant creative accomplishment and is not just a minor variation or extension of one of the apps we did in the course.
